Abstract

An accommodation structure and an apparatus kit are provided. The accommodation structure is configured for receiving a mobile terminal. The accommodation structure includes a base. The base is provided with a groove, the groove has a bottom provided with an accommodating slot for receiving the mobile terminal, and the groove has a depth increasing from an edge of the groove to a position where the accommodating slot is located. The accommodating slot has a depth varying along a periphery of the accommodating slot, and the depth of the accommodating slot has a minimum value at a position of a maximum depth of the groove.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An accommodation structure configured for receiving a mobile terminal, the accommodation structure comprising a base, wherein the base is provided with a groove, the groove has a bottom provided with an accommodating slot for receiving the mobile terminal, the groove has a depth measured from top to bottom and increasing from an edge of the groove to a position where the accommodating slot is located, the accommodating slot has a depth measured from top to bottom and varying along a periphery of the accommodating slot, and the periphery of the accommodating slot has a minimum height at a position of a maximum depth of the groove,
wherein rest of the bottom of the groove except the accommodating slot is part of a spherical surface.

2. The accommodation structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the accommodating slot is defined by a bottom wall and a side wall arranged in a circumferential direction of the bottom wall, the side wall comprises a first side wall and a second side wall arranged opposite to each other, as well as a third side wall and a fourth side wall connected between the first side wall and the second side wall, the third side wall and the fourth side wall are arranged opposite to each other, the first side wall, the second side wall, the third side wall, the fourth side wall and the bottom wall define the accommodating slot, a maximum distance between the first side wall and the second side wall is less than a maximum distance between the third side wall and the fourth side wall, and the depth of the accommodating slot varies along the side wall, and has the minimum value at the first side wall and the second side wall.

3. The accommodation structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an orthographic projection of the groove on a reference plane is a circle or a regular N-polygon, and an orthographic projection of the accommodating slot on the reference plane is a rectangle, in which the reference plane is a geometric plane perpendicular to a depth direction of the groove, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 3.

4. The accommodation structure as claimed in claim 3 , wherein an orthographic projection of the base on the reference plane is a rectangle, and an edge of the base surrounds the groove.

5. The accommodation structure as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a center of the orthographic projection of the groove on the reference plane, a center of the orthographic projection of the accommodating slot on the reference plane and a center of the orthographic projection of the base on the reference plane coincide with one another.

6. The accommodation structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the depth of the groove gradually increases from the edge of the groove to the position where the accommodating slot is located.

7. The accommodation structure as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a cover body rotatably connected with a side of the base and configured to cover the accommodating slot.

8. The accommodation structure as claimed in claim 7 , wherein an orthographic projection of the cover body is configured to coincide with an orthographic projection of the base on a geometric plane perpendicular to a depth direction of the groove when the cover body covers the accommodating slot.

9. The accommodation structure as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the cover body comprises a first sub cover and a second sub cover, the first sub cover and the second sub cover are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the base and configured to rotate relative to the base, the first sub cover and the second sub cover are configured to rotate towards or away from each other, and the first sub cover and the second sub cover are further configured to be arranged side by side and cover the base together when the cover body covers the accommodating slot.

10. The accommodation structure as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the first sub cover comprises a first shell and a first drawer portion, the second sub cover comprises a second shell and a second drawer portion, each of the first shell and the second shell defines a cavity, each of the first shell and the second shell has an opening, the first drawer portion is configured to slide into or out of the cavity of the first shell through the opening of the first shell, the second drawer portion is configured to slide into or out of the cavity of the second shell through the opening of the second shell, and the opening of the first shell and the opening of the second shell are configured to be arranged right opposite to each other when the cover body covers the accommodating slot.

11. The accommodation structure as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising a bottom plate, wherein the base is fixed on the bottom plate, the groove is formed in a side of the base facing away from the bottom plate, and the first sub cover and the second sub cover are rotatably connected to two opposite sides of the bottom plate, respectively.

12. An apparatus kit, comprising:
a mobile terminal; and
an accommodation structure receiving the mobile terminal therein;
wherein the accommodation structure comprises a base, the base has a groove, the groove is provided with an accommodating slot in a bottom thereof, the mobile terminal is received in the accommodating slot, the groove has a depth measured from top to bottom and increasing from an edge of the groove to a position where the accommodating slot is located, and a peripheral part of the mobile terminal protrudes out of the accommodating slot at a position of a maximum depth of the groove,
wherein the accommodation structure further comprises a cover body rotatably connected with a side of the base and configured to cover the accommodating slot, the cover body comprises a first sub cover and a second sub cover, the first sub cover and the second sub cover are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the base and configured to rotate relative to the base, such that the first sub cover and the second sub cover are configured to rotate towards or away from each other, and the first sub cover and the second sub cover are configured to be arranged side by side and cover the base together when the cover body covers the accommodating slot.

13. The apparatus kit as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the mobile terminal comprises a front surface and a rear surface facing away from each other, and a side peripheral surface connected between the front surface and the rear surface, the mobile terminal comprising a display screen, the display screen has a display area facing the front surface, and a part of the side peripheral surface protrudes out of the accommodating slot at the position of the maximum depth of the groove.

14. The apparatus kit as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the accommodating slot is defined by a bottom wall and a side wall arranged in a circumferential direction of the bottom wall, the side wall comprises a first side wall and a second side wall arranged opposite to each other, and a third side wall and a fourth side wall connected between the first side wall and the second side wall, the third side wall and the fourth side wall are arranged opposite to each other, the first side wall, the second side wall, the third side wall, the fourth side wall and the bottom wall define the accommodating slot, a maximum distance between the first side wall and the second side wall is less than a maximum distance between the third side wall and the fourth side wall, and the part of the side peripheral surface is exposed out of the first side wall and the second side wall.
